Not Financial Advice โ Just a look into a personal challenge.
๐
Total Trading Days So Far: 36 (Friday, a 1-month recap)
๐ต Starting Capital: $625.00
๐ Current Progress: Just shy of 10X +$6,034.16
using up to 10 micros , 5-15% daily margin
๐ง Mindset Check-In
This challenge has taught me more than I expected.
The shift from trading a larger account to managing a small one rewires your brain โ and thatโs a good thing. Youโre forced to respect boundaries. You're humbled. Youโre reminded that discipline is a skill, not a suggestion.
๐ If you start with more capital, you often bring old habits.
๐ If you start small, you build new patterns โ intentionally.
๐งฉ Small gains start to add up. Small adjustments become big improvements.
And most importantly: you begin to master risk โ the one thing in trading thatโs always in your control.
๐ก Trade Notes & Lessons
๐ข Took a long position during an Asia session,
trading Futures MNQ @ 23,300.25
๐ฏ Closed it for a strong win near 23,347.50โ23,350
โ๏ธ Stop was placed at session low โ never hit
โ ๏ธ Made an error this month โ added to my position, not realizing I was using minis instead of micros.
๐ฐ I closed the trade early because I hit my profit cap for the night.
๐ This wasnโt about greed โ it was about protecting emotional balance.
โ Took a small loss this past week by breaking a rule.
๐ But I recovered, corrected the behavior, and stayed on track. That's a win in itself.

This has been my anchor. Itโs easy to chase numbers. But chasing discipline pays the real dividends.
